Well, that's it. I've got all eight badges of Johto. All done in under a year, too. Who's willing to bet that that's a record? I know I'm willing to bet it is.

So, now it looks like I either get to just hang around until the Pokémon League begins accepting challengers, or go for the badges of Kanto. I suppose I have some time to think about it.

Hey, Hughes! How about joining me for a drink to celebrate my achievement? My treat!

I see. Too impatient to take the ferry?

Ferries are lame. I've got a Dragonite, a Slowpoke and a Tauros that all know Surf. When one gets tired, I just switch 'em out. They're faster than a ferry, anyway.

Sure, if you don't mind the rampant Water-type Pokémon that attack you while surfing.

I'm a trainer, duh, why would I mind a battle?

That's what Axe-bro's for. She's got, like, six levels on anything around here. It's okay training for her, too.

Oh, it's not that. It's just that you never know when something might get the drop on you. Falling into the water's not a good thing to have happen, after all.

Ohhhh, I get it. You can't swim. That's cool, dude. The ferry's only, like, a day slower.

Okay, now you're just jumping to conclusions.

[comeatmibro]

Well, why else would you care if you fell in? I jump in sometimes when I switch surfers. And I climb down on Haku-bro's tail and let him pull me through the water. It's fun!

Hey, if you want to tempt fate, be my guest. Don't blame me when a rip current drags you too far out, though.

[comeatmibro]

Don't worry, old man. My Pokémon wouldn't let anything happen to me.

...You never give up, do you.

[comeatmibro]

Never.
